RE: Bar Code printing example

There IS a simple way to add the BARCODE but not in internal specs - convert it to an externally-described printer file and you are golden.

If you can, find the QSAMPLER library. It had great examples for doing AFP stuff - including barcodes. But IBM seems to have made it unavailable, and Ricoh, who now have IBM printing, don't seem to have it anywhere.

Maybe someone on the list has the SAVF - I might be able to find it myself - we have the library on our machine.
